The term “amorphous,” as used herein, means a supercooled liquid or aviscous liquid which looks like a solid but does not have a regularlyrepeating arrangement of molecules that is maintained over a long rangeand does not have a melting point but rather softens or flows above itsglass transition temperature.

The term “anti-solvent,” as used herein, means a solvent in which acompound is substantially insoluble.

The term “sodium(9S-(9α,10β,12α))-2,3,9,10,11,12-hexahydro-10-hydroxy-10-(carboxylate)-9-methyl-9,12-epoxy-1H-diindolo[1,2,3-fg:3′,2′,1′-kl]pyrrolo[3,4-i][1,6]benzodiazocin-1-onemethanolate pentahydrate,” as used herein, means sodium(9S-(9α,10β,12α))-2,3,9,10,11,12-hexahydro-10-hydroxy-10-(carboxylate)-9-methyl-9,12-epoxy-1H-diindolo[1,2,3-fg:3′,2′,1′-kl]pyrrolo[3,4-i][1,6]benzodiazocin-1-onewith one methanol and five water solvate molecules.

The term “crystalline,” as used herein, means having a regularlyrepeating arrangement of molecules or external face planes.

The term “isolating” as used herein, means separating a compound from asolvent, anti-solvent, or a mixture of solvent and anti-solvent toprovide a solid, semisolid or syrup.

Isolating may or may not be accompanied bypurifying during which the chemical, chiral or chemical and chiralpurity of the isolate is increased. Purifying is typically conducted bymeans such as crystallization, distillation, extraction, filtrationthrough acidic, basic or neutral alumina, filtration through acidic,basic or neutral charcoal, column chromatography on a column packed witha chiral stationary phase, filtration through a porous paper, plastic orglass barrier, column chromatography on silica gel, ion exchangechromatography, recrystallization, normal-phase high performance liquidchromatography, reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography,trituration and the like.

The term “miscible,” as used herein, means capable of combining withoutseparation of phases.

The term “solvate,” as used herein, means having on a surface, in alattice or on a surface and in a lattice, a solvent such as water,acetic acid, acetone, acetonitrile, benzene, chloroform, carbontetrachloride, dichloromethane, dimethylsulfoxide, 1,4-dioxane, ethanol,ethyl acetate, butanol, tert-butanol, N,N-dimethylacetamide,N,N-dimethylformamide, formamide, formic acid, heptane, hexane,isopropanol, methanol, methyl ethyl ketone, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone,mesitylene, nitromethane, polyethylene glycol, propanol, 2-propanone,pyridine, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, xylene, mixtures thereof and thelike. A specific example of a solvate is a hydrate, wherein the solventon the surface, in the lattice or on the surface and in the lattice, iswater. Hydrates may or may not have solvents other than water on thesurface, in the lattice or on the surface and in the lattice of asubstance.

The term “supersaturated,” as used herein, means having a compound in asolvent in which it is completely dissolved at a certain temperature butat which the solubility of the compound in the solvent at that certaintemperature is exceeded.
